I just bought this mat a couple weeks ago because my new gym doesn't have any pilates mats. Most people in my class (about 25 ppl) have yoga mats or mats that are marketed as pilates mats but are really too thin. Last night in class, my teacher used my mat as an example of what people should buy if they are just going to take only pilates, and not yoga as well. I never have to add any additional support mats, as the other people in class do, and it's nice that it's so long because I don't have to worry about touching the dirty floor. I am a beginner/intermediate, and I like using it. I only wish it came with a strap or something to help transport it back and forth better!

Good bye old purple yoga mat, hello blue heaven! GoFit's Pilates Mat is exceptional, and the price for such comfort.....absolutely reasonable - underpriced if anything! I have bought a couple of mats searching for enough cushioning to use on hardwood floors & only got bruises. If you have hardwood floors or any hard surface - you must get this mat, if I could give more stars I would =)The curling issue, not a biggie. Keep the box it comes rolled up in, and reverse roll it. After each use, roll up opposite of last roll and place it back in box.I LOVE THIS, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!

I just received this mat. NO ODOR at all!Yes, it was in a roll during shipping, so of course the ends turned up a bit. I TURNED IT OVER on my hardwood floors and that was the end of that problem.It doesn't slip. Not on the floor. Not under my feet. No matter which side is facing down. It's thick, THICK, soft but sturdy. My body doesn't feel any pain, no matter what part of it is touching the floor!

If, like me, you have a prominent coccyx (tailbone) and bruise a lot there when doing crunches, pilates, or yoga, this is the most comfortable mat I've found. It does make for slightly less stability when doing anything that requires standing on a single foot (I just step off the mat for those) but I find the trade off more than worth it. I have had no durability issues, and it is going on 2 years old now. I do alternate the direction in which I roll it to prevent creasing, though that may be unnecessary on my part. Overall a great mat for comfort, and if I wear mine out, I plan to buy the same one again.

I had searched for a while for a pilates mat that was thicker and more supportive than the very thin mats that seem standard. After evaluating the very few that are at least a half an inch thick, this mat was my choice to diffuse the pain I always experience during any kind of floor work (I experience a lot of pressure on my lower back.) I was a little worried that, being such a large mat, it wouldn't roll up very small or would just look monstrous on the floor next to others' tiny yoga mats. But for as thick as it is this mat rolls up surprisingly well and can still be tucked under your arm. And it is really luxurious to do pilates on. It reduces the impact on my back and feels really nice under my bare feet when doing standing poses. I actually think it takes stress off the knees, because the thick mat helps absorb shock if you are using it for high impact exercises. It's no hard-core yoga mat, as some have said, but it stayed put pretty well when doing some cardio style, kicking moves. I also never thought it would be so worth it to have a LONG mat, but I'm 5'10 and now I can't go back. When others were hanging off the edges of their non-mats, I could comfortably lay my head on one end and not worry about my long legs extending off my mat and hitting someone in the face :)

Got this to help fight my hardwood floors and not being able to do a few moves without hurting my spine. Thick mat and perfect for anyone practicing pilates. The thin normal yoga mat was just not cutting it and it took me a while to find one like I use in class. This is perfect!

I had this for a while. What's there to say about an exercise mat? I mean its an exercise mat! Its nice and soft, comfortable especially for elbows and knees under pressure. Rolls up neatly to be put away. Wipes off easily after your workout! Durable. Little pieces will flake out though if it is ill treated

I like it, for the price it is what it's advertised as. A yoga/pilates mat which fits me from head to toe (i'm 5'8). It is thicker than most yoga mats which i appreciate. It does slip as i'm doing some more strenuous exercises, like side planks for example, but not enough to bother me.
